The game then spawned a number of variants and while it built up its popularity over several decades. In , Hasbro released an updated version of the classic Risk board game. The newer version included more abstract, stylized playing pieces shaped as different sized arrows, which indicate the movement of forces. The game also included for the first time cities, capitals, and major and minor objectives and rewards.
These additions added a new element of complexity to the game whilst still maintaining accessibility to new players. Game Board: The Risk game board is simply a map of 6 continents divided into 42 territories total. Each continent is a depicted with a different color and each contain 4 to 12 territories within its borders. The numbers along the bottom or southern edge of the board indicate the number of armies you will receive for a set of cards you trade in.
The game starts with infantry pieces, however later in the game you may trade these pieces for Cavalry or Artillery or Calvary for Artillery according to their respective values above. Cards: There are 42 Cards, each marked with a territory and a picture of Infantry, Cavalry, or Artillery. Remove Secret Mission cards if not playing that variation. Risk requires planning before the game can begins.
Initial placement of armies determines battles later in the game. To begin, select a color. Depending on the number of players in the game, distribute number of armies accordingly. Classically, players got 50 armies each. However, modern interpretations of the game gives them only 40 armies each and establishes a neutral territory with another 40 armies. These are defensive armies for both players only and never used for offense.
When one player attacks the neutral country, the other rolls the dice for that country. Successfully winning battles depends on careful planning and bold moves. To win you must attack when the time is right while fortifying your defenses. At the start of each turn, calculate how many new armies to add to your territories by considering:. Players always pick a card from the deck upon their turn first. They will always have five cards left in hand at the end of their turn.
More than 2 players can play. For a three player game, players need only to acquire cards valuing 70 Miles. Four player games would form teams two against two. The rules also allow for a six player game as well. The six players two teams of three would need to only collect the 70 miles in order to win; four 1 mile cards, two 3 mile cards, two 15 mile cards and one 30 mile card.
Although Touring is a specialized deck card game, it is a unique and fun game to still play. Often times it can be found on auction sites, like EBay, for less than 30 dollars depending on the age and condition.
Picking one up can offer another great card game to play on game night. When Parker Brothers bought the game and issued it in , did they up the mileage cards to 1, 3, 15, 30 at that point in time? I thought the first mileage increase was in the edition. My game of Touring, the one in the gold box dated , has two dice with it. They fit in the little groove in the center of the box between the cards. I can find no reference to dice in the directions or in any information I can find.
Does anyone know anything about them? This will result in two players having 10 cards instead of 9 when the cards are dealt. Deal and play as normal with a few small exceptions. You may trade combinations that include either the Bull or the Bear when trading. For example, if you wanted to trade two wheat and a Bull, you would try to imitate a three-card trade. You still cannot mix commodities in trades. The Bull card can be used in two ways—It can be wild and used to complete a 9 card set 8 of one commodity plus the bull for the normal number of points allocated for that set.
Additionally, it can be used to make a 10 card set 9 of one commodity plus the Bull , which is worth twice as many points as normally allocated. The Bear card is a penalty card. Whoever is stuck with it when a Corner is called loses 20 points. Additionally, if the Bull card is in a players hand when another player Corners a commodity, the player holding the Bull also loses 20 points.
Play is otherwise unchanged, and you should consider familiarizing yourself with the regular version before including the Bull and Bear cards. Name required. Email will not be published required.
